Sorry to say, I don't know of any bait stores in that area. Coincidentally, the other night at the Friends of Fishing meeting, we discussed bait store opportunities in the region and if I remember correct, we mentioned Slez; Country; Chief's and no one was sure if LaPorte was still functioning or was sold. Also, we mentioned Bass Lake had one but most all other locations for bait have closed. If one desires live bait, planning prior to traveling or heading fishing must be considered.
